Life Coaching Therapists in Colonial Heights, VA

Hi, I’m Ashley! I love working with highly ambitious young professional Black women and women of color who desire to reclaim control over their lives through EMDR therapy. You may struggle with trauma, anxiety, or stress, making daily life feel unmanageable. Perhaps you internalize negative messages from your family and friends, causing self-doubt, inadequacy, or a loss of your voice. You might experience nightmares, flashbacks, or live in a state of constant tension. If you’re ready to overcome these challenges and live boldly with purpose, I am here to help!

I specialize in working with individuals going through life changes centering around empathetic work. My past work experiences have been aiding individuals with relational strain, the LGBTQIA+ community, young adults, and individuals with anxiety and depression.

Clients who come with a specific need (depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems), and a willingness to change, will find therapy most efficient and effective. Many people come with a general sense of what is wrong, but seek therapy to help identify the meaning and source of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that are disturbing. Therapeutic goals can be as simple as diagnosing the concern and developing life strategies to manage symptoms. Goals can be as complicated as working through a history of multiple diagnosis offered by multiple providers and identifying what will work best for this client, then offering treatment.

I work with the goal of assisting my clients to rediscover hope and help them with their struggles of coping with many life issues such as grief, anxiety, depression, and unprocessed trauma. I work primarily from a systems perspective. Many people come to therapy as individuals, couples, and families thinking that communication is the main concern. How we have learned to communicate comes from our familial relationships growing up. Understanding what we have learned and how it contributes to our current relationships helps us to better understand our triggers and process through the way one thinks giving direction for improvement.
